Hi there!
I just started getting a bit into the folk-scene. I've been listening to some old albums I found in my fathers basement, with Crosby, Stills & Nash. I would really like some recommendations.
I really like "Wooden Ships", a little bit bluesy and not TOO country. Anyone, track/artist-suggestions...
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I forgot to say that I enjoy listening to Buffalo Springfield too, but I don't know if thats really folk...
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
